I think this is/was about saving clicks for the circulation desk mostly. If you
scan a card, they want to go directly to the patron account. I am not sure if
it's also applied for other searches/results in general. But I believe it's
always been the case for cardnumber searches (since 3.2 at least, when I began
using Koha).

I believe if you picked an entry, using the auto-complete, you'd also
want/expect this behavior.

(Not sure those comments fully apply here, just trying to give a user point of
view)
